So I have the fabric, hoop, punch needle and floss. First thing I did, is I drew on the fabric and labeled which color will go where... kinda like the number color things...

With the fabric over the small hoop, you can now get larger hoop, loosen it and then put it on top. Make sure its nice and tight and pull the fabric tight.

Next thing you're going to do is load the Punch needle. You put your threader through the pointy part of the punch needle. Pull your floss through. there is a flat and curved open side. with your floss through the open part, you push your threader though the flat part. thread it. pull it. then you just got to keep the open part in the direction you are going and make sure you keep your needle close to the fabric.

So lets see that in real life..

I have a video where I go through the basic.. errr.. how to punch needle. and I'll put a link to that right here::)

When using the punch needle.. this. the part you can see would technically be the back. The front side is going to be the opposite side with all the loops.. I forgot this so the o_x is actually going to be backward and say x_o.. whoops.

When ending your last stitch.. just pull it up, cut it, and after you load your next color in the punch needle your good to start again... till youre done.

After cleaning up the front/looped side, there were spots I wanted to be a little thicker. So I went back through with the punch needle.

I kept checking under neath to make sure it was good.. annnnnd it looked good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

next thing you will do. Is you will take some iron on adhesive. there is like a shiny plastic side and mat paper side. Put the plastic side face down on the back of your patch and iron it on. Make sure you get it good on the edges:)

What this does, it it helps keep it from unzipping. Remember when you use a punch need you are just making little loops on the back, so with one little tug it will just come out. This should help keep it from doing that.

After that cut out your patch. Leave about 1/8" of fabric around your patch. This will be your border. Pick your color of your border.. I went with black.. and thread your needle. Make sure you have enough slack and cut it.

Start from the back of your patch as close as you can get to the design and pull it though. Make sure at the end of your floss there is knot so it stops:)

Come again from the back as close as you can get to the last stitch.. and make a lil loop.. and do that again and again and again.. till you have a little border thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do this till you meet up with your very first stitch. To end.. come through the front this time. And you're going to make a knot in the back.. so you can't see it from the front... nice:) cut it off and you're good to go.

Buuuut... I'm not a huge fan of the iron on stuff so I use this peel and stick thing. It has two protective layers. peel off one and stick your patch face up on there. Cut off all the excess sticky stuff... then you can peel off the other protective layer leaving the sticky stuff on the back of your patch.. you can now stick that where ever you want:)
